Description

January 26, 1955. The bow of the steamship Ticonderoga is seen here. The entire ship is seated and welded to a wheeled cradle upon which the ship will be moved along the double railroad tracks laid before it. The cradle had been submerged in a man made basin that was flooded, the boat positioned over the cradle and then the basin drained allowing the boat to come to rest on the cradle. Photo 107.
